Parasites Hooks, suckers and claws are our potent

Parasites Hooks, suckers and claws are our potent pliers And we use them to keep a firm hold on our suppliers We need, and gain a constant source of food We do what we like, we don't care how it is viewed Are our hosts supposed to get any benefit from us? We just do our job and survive, so why the fuss? Complex life cycles we are forced to go through We need different hosts at different stages it's true Few animals manage to avoid us as we are tenacious We don't kill our hosts as their blood is precious We have our cousins among plants, a fact I must report They too need generous hosts as a means of support Mistletoe, dodder or the strangler fig, they manage to survive Nourishing fluids they receive from their hosts and thrive Hapless beings aren't we? Mutualism devours our poor tiny ticks The Oxpecker scampers over the buffalo and off them it picks Aren't there people among you who habitually exploit others? And never give anything in return... Do you think they are our brothers? #NojotoQuote
